Lakeland Race/Hooters Girls Pics - 4/14/07

[Original Looper 1]

Last round of pictures from Lakeland today. My wife and I had a great time attending races the last 3 weekends around Florida and taking pictures to post here. No, we're definitely not professional photographers. Still, we had a lot of fun seeing a lot of old race friends and making new ones and hope you've had some fun seeing the pictures we took. Thanks to all of the race teams that cooperated in our endeaver.

thanks,

Paul A Christner

Mark,

Pete was leading the last heat of his class when his unit broke. Really tough luck because he had awesome top end.

I loved this race site when raced there in 2004, the people are great and was a really good time. How did Howie Nichols do in is sst120?

Chris,

Howie finished 2nd overall. He took a 2nd in the 1st race & a 1st in the 2nd race. In the first race, he was taking a corner with another racer and the other racer flipped. No one was hurt.

I don't know that they will be racing today as a cold front has come through bringing strong storms and high winds. The Lakeland area was getting hit by storms at 11 am.

thanks,
Paul

Funny you say that about the weather that is the same thing that happened in 2004, I everyone packed up and went home after a few cold ones, not me thou I had to drive back to North Dakota. Do you know who flipped in the corner was howie that fast or was everyone having problems!

Is that a real race V8? Do you have any close up pics? I didn't know there was still any around racing.

That is Pete Nydahls boat and yes it is a real race V8. He is from WI his dad was the maker of the race hardware! He set a world record with that boat up here in my neck of the woods!

John how did the sst60s do how did fernadez(spelling ) do with his new boat, just curious cause I used to run that boat and won the race you guys are at in 2004?

If you want to see a close up picture of Pete Nydahl's motor, I have one. It's the last set of pictures from Lake Wales Races that I posted here, the ones from Easter sunday. It's the one called coming attractions.

thanks,

Thanks.. Thats cool, I thought I had seen the last of the V8's (still racin anyway). I bet the Merc guys HATE THAT THING.

That boat is very very fast only prob is finding the right prop at Nationals a few years back it was so fast but it kept hitting the rev limiter 3/4 down the front and the motor had alot more just needs that special prop!
